View full itinerary · Tour Maras Moray Chinchero: The Mysterious Moray & Maras
We start this wonderful day with our tour of Chinchero Maras and Moray, with a warm welcome and picking you up at your hotel at approximately 8 am. We recommend you be ready minutes before.
After mobilizing for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, our first stop will be the archaeological site of Moray (3,500 masl / 11,482 ft). Here you can admire its incredible circular platforms. It was believed that these were used to grow different products taking advantage of temperature variations on each platform.
After visiting Moray, we will head towards the Maras Salt Mines (3,200 meters / 10,498 feet), one of the most Instagrammable places to take those incredible shots. They are located about 2 km from the previous point, and you can see the 3000 salt wells of this place that get their minerals from the water that seeps into the earth.
Note: In this destination, you can buy products made with local salt, offered by residents.
Chinchero, "Rainbow Town"
To end the tour of Chinchero Maras and Moray, we will visit the picturesque village of Chinchero (3,754 meters / 12,316 feet). Here we can admire the enigmatic constructions that remain in time, accompanied by a colonial church that dazzles with its works of art on its walls. Also, we will participate in the weaving teachings, where the instruments are still maintained and the culture is alive, manifesting itself through its textiles.
Note: Here you can buy handmade items from the locals. There are amazing designs.
